Hes an upgrade on Willian imo.

He excites me and makes me love the game, I lean forward when he has the ball.
I miss that
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Zaha? I wouldn't disagree with that. I think he was second to hazard in terms of completed dribbles and taken ons in hazards time in the pl. A overlooked ability
Crystal Palace will be after a huge amount of money for Zaha, 27 years of age now.
Brilliant player as you guys mentioned, does get you excited because he takes players on. But I'm not sure, if we can get him for around £40 mil then I'm all for it.
Thsts the only thing, money.
Who would be alternative? Sancho? I like the look of Werner. Can he play off Tammy?

Ziyech been getting talked about a bit as well Nick. George Benson did a pretty decent vid on us signing, Zaha, Sancho or Ziyech.

Who did we sign instead in that window ? . We never seem to get Jan windows quite right.
No idea what Palace would want for Zaha but he's 27 already and with his not brilliant form this season not sure they'd be able to ask the earth for him. Not as if he's been banging in the goals over the season, something that will always add to a player's price. Then again it's always pricier buying players in Jan and Palace don't think have to sell.
Anyone else want Kepa gone in the summer if he doesn't improve?
But under new boss Lampard, Kepa has already conceded 37 goals with a damning save percentage
of 56 per cent.
According to Bleacher Report, the Chelsea manager is looking to replace the ex-Athletic Bilbao stopper.
The Spanish keeper has the second lowest save percentage this term, with only Southampton’s Angus Gunn managing worse with 55 per cent.
Liverpool No1 Alisson - who was Chelsea’s initial choice over Kepa last season - has the highest stats with a 78 per cent save ratio.
Those are some pretty bad stats. Will be difficult to shift Kepa though unless we're prepared to take a significant loss. Nobody is going to pay us the crazy money we paid for him.
Not that that's a reason to keep him of course.

Dont want Zaha at all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who would you like RtM ?
Absolutely not sure. I just know I dont feel he is good enough for us and looks more a frustrating player than anything else. Also has tantrums throughout matches.
Should take the hit if he continues with this rubbish form. Doesn't inspire me with any confidence when I watch him. Still looks like there's no communication between him & the back 4. Can see the uncertainty when the ball goes into the box, not sure if he's going to come out of his line or not.
If we're not going to get rid then we need to sign a backup that will actually provide competition for his spot as currently he can get away with anything knowing he's playing the next game.

He's a real difficult call...got bags of potential in a good side..might have just been held back at Palace
I just don't know with him...attitude at times is a potential problem
Kepa hasn't actually improved in any regard as far as I can see. That's the most worrying part. If it's the same at the end of the season then get rid.

What could he do to massively improve would you say....?
Apart from maybe grow five inches taller
My preference is Ziyech because he's class, can actually cross unlike many of our players and the added factor of being a leftie so will add something different compared to our other wingers.
I like Zaha but it's the price & age, pretty similar to Ziyech in terms of age. So if Ziyech is priced too high then we shouldn't bother.
A longer term signing is Sancho but I think he's more likely to come in the summer rather than January.

Unfortunately he can't do much about his height.
But there's aspects of his game that definitely need improving - distribution has been poor compared to last season, decision making in terms of whether he's going to come out of his line for crosses etc, communication with his backline, shot stopping as sometimes he lets in those he should save.
Just haven't seen him kick on - he has moments where you think he's going to be great (I can recall the game vs Liverpool in the Super Cup) but then he makes some absolute howlers.

I do think this is a massive problem for Kepa myself...he needs to know who he can trust to clear something, or take possession deep from him...obviously the less Alonso plays the better, & Rudi is back now too...
